An Athletic Trainer's chosen mindset is crucial during these different and, in many ways, difficult times. Athletic Trainers have always had to demonstrate calmness and composure during the emergency situations we deal with in our professional settings. Are we still demonstrating that calmness and composure during these times? In this cATalyzing Podcast for ATs episode, Chris Flores, ATC joins Ryan Stevens to discuss how athletic trainers are "built for this". Â Also discussed are some coping strategies to keep calm during difficult times and effective daily planning and productivity strategies. Â In having to be adaptable, what are some other ways athletic trainers can use the skill sets we already possess in a different way to be productive and showcase value in the ever-changing work post-COVID? Chris and Ryan get into this.

During these difficult times, many athletic trainers are finding themselves struggling financially or in situation where their financial situation may change quickly in the next few months. Â Maybe you've lost your job. Maybe your hours have been cut. Maybe you are concerned about your own health or your family member's health. Â We need to make some difficult yet purposeful decisions centered around money management and planning. Â The cATalyzing Podcat is bringing you audio in this episode from a talk that Matthew Shade, M.Ed, LAT, ATC gave last summer centered around identifying your financial planning personality and behaviors, how to build a budget, and how to plan for short-, mid-, and long-term goals to avoid pitfalls. Matt showcases his emotions during this talk, as he hopes that his story inspires you to have hope for your future in the event that things are unexpectedly tough for you right now.Â

As Certified Athletic trainers, we are often the âgo toâ, the âhandle everythingâ and the âbe everywhereâ person. We typically put everyone else first. During a time of crisis, this is likely even more the case. Â As we find ways to navigate this COVID-19 pandemic, we also have to remember to take care of ourselves. In this episode I am sharing the audio from a presentation that Sandy Lynch Massi, MA, LAT, CCISM gave last summer at the annual RWJBarnabas Health "We Matter Too" Athletic Trainer Summit. Â Sandy is the NATA "ATs Care" District 2 Representative. In this talk she presented ways to help Athletic Trainers recognize when you may have neglected yourself for too long and how to create a plan to get you back to your best. She discusses mental health self-assessment, recognizing when you need to make your mental health a priority, strategies for creating your own mental health Emergency Action Plan, and ways to advocate for yourself as part of the plan.

Below is the lineup, topics, and email addresses in case you wish to reach out for further questions! Thanks to the ATSNJ leadership for their support. This episode will definitely be #cATalyzingATs!

With National Athletic Training Month (#NATM2020) coming up in March, this is a good time for all athletic trainers to be thinking about ways you can promote yourself as a healthcare professional and your profession to other stakeholders and community members who are potentially touched by athletic training. This year's theme is "Athletic Trainers are #HealthcareInAction", and one way of taking action is to promote yourself and your profession to gain increased exposure and understanding for those you help with your expertise. This episode is an example of one way you can do that. Last year David Borchardt, ATC and Ryan Stevens, ATC had the privilege of being interviewed on a television show by physician Dr. Douglas Ashinsky, where the athletic training profession was discussed. Ryan is the manager of athletic training, Physical Therapy, and Fitness for RWJ Somerset and Hamilton hospitals, and David is director of athletic training for Rutgers University Athletics. This audio is property of RWJBarnabas Health and was repurposed for this podcast. Original video link here: https://youtu.be/ZDwcZebz9h8

At different points of our professional careers, most athletic trainers dabble in per diem work, either as an independent contractor or through an employer. Per diem athletic training is a fantastic way to build experience, grow your network, add additional income, and establish foundations for future jobs. When it comes to working as a per diem athletic trainer, it is not as simple as just showing up and providing excellent care. In this episode, Ryan Stevens sat down with K. Ellis Mair, founder of Go4Ellis, to discuss her journey and "all things per diem", many aspects which any athletic trainer at any level needs to consider when working in this capacity.Â

We're going way back in this throwback episode. Back when I had hair :-). A little while after I moved to New Jersey, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Ian Westermann, founder of EssentialTennis.com, to create a series of videos on injury prevention and performance enhancement for tennis players. Â In this podcast episode, we are going to get clinical with some tips you can use both with injury rehab and injury reduction programs, as I share the audio from three of these video segments. In my session with Ian, we review jumping and landing mechanics as a precursor to beginning plyometric training, base deceleration and change of direction skill drills as a precursor for advanced speed, and lower extremity sequence progressions that I have used in the "Performance" realm, with the purpose of injury reduction and performance enhancement. agility, and quickness drills, and complementary lower extremity strengthening exercises such as the single leg squat, single leg RDL, and mini band walking.Â
